On the operational side, Raytheon Australia completed delivery and integration of the NASAMS air defense system for the Australian Army, Pratt & Whitney announced a $25 million engine parts expansion in Poland expected to add over 120 jobs, and Jill Albertelli was named incoming president of Pratt & Whitney effective January 2027.
